So what are we supposed to do with all of our anger?

For the The Body's World AIDS Day site, Visual AIDS provides a slideshow from United in Anger. We share the following thoughts:

Anger is a natural. For some of us, it is how we tap into our sadness,
deal with our frustration, and it's what gets some of us up in the
morning. When dealing with HIV, anger is part of life: anger with
doctors who don't listen, first dates that never call back, service
providers supplying endless paperwork, politicians that lie, medications
with side effects, a media that ignores HIV, and employers who
discriminate. Yet with all this fuel for the fire, we live in a culture
where we often try to suppress each other's anger by telling everyone to
calm down all the time. So what are we supposed to do with all of our
anger?
